#ryomina is love ryomina is life

[eru-iru]

obsessed over these two they are on my mind 24/7

[crescentfool]

my longest friend and companion

[azuries]

close call!

[tsururoach]

you ship ryomina because ryoji is a disaster of a bisexual. I ship ryomina because of the beauty of a suicidal boy that can love life enough that death can agree.

JSKLFJDSHFKJ THIS MADE ME CACKLE so I wrote u a snip for this here u go

“Hey Ghost,” Futaba said, her voice emitting directly to all of them through Necronomicon without any preamble. “What kinda stuff does Thanatos talk to you about?” Minato looked up at Necronomicon floating not too far away from the battle they just finished. “Why are you asking?” “Just curious,” she said. “You said he talks to you. How much?” Minato shrugged. “A lot.” “Man, I wonder what Necronomicon would say. I don’t think it’s ever actually talked to me directly.” “Arsene talks to me sometimes, but not much,” said Ren, sheathing his knife after defeating another shadow. “But I guess Thanatos is a special case. You said he was also your friend, right?” Minato paused, expression slightly fond. “More than that. But yeah.” It wasn’t missed by Futaba. “Ooooh, so you two were like that, huh?” she said, stating it like an observation that she wielded with devastating bluntness. The fondness in Minato’s face instantly withered into the driest look Ren had seen yet. Off to the side, Ren heard Ann and Ryuji muffle their snickering, trying to politely pretend Futaba hadn’t just broadcast that comment to the entire group. That didn’t stop Ren from jumping on board, though. He was pretty sure their bond was strong enough to withstand some light teasing, and Minato was normally unflappable. Ren chuckled after a long pause. “I’m not hearing a no,” he said. “Were you?” “Does he call you babygirl?!” asked Futaba. “The people must know! And by people I mean me!” “How about we stop talking,” said Minato, tugging his hood down over his face. The dusting of red on his face wasn’t missed by either of them.

random ryoji thing

[prettypinklass]

ryomina is an impossible relationship dynamic for me to explain because how do you define the relationship between a boy who died after holding Death for so much of his life and the Death he held that now watches over him. they are hopelessly in love yes but thats too simple an explanation for a duo that simultaneously have only known each other for a month and have known each other for a decade. who are best friends and on opposing sides. who are a boy and the eldritch horror that's dogged his every step since he was a child

How do you explain that kind of relationship. They are everything to me

[neomedievalist]

3 4 5 RYOMINA GO GO GO

3. Are they into PDA? Who initiates most?

I have always always thought that they just touch eachother without realizing it..in p3movie 3 you can see them just standing close to eachother and theres that scene where minato grabs ryojis arm then seems to be confused about the fact that he did that. WHICH IS SO CUTE. another angle is that ryoji is v aware hes in love so hes reeling himself back constantly but minato is the one unaware of it and ryoji is like ??!??!? Maybe he does this with everyone...I have only known him for a week... and he asks junpei and hes like i have never ever seen this guy willingly step within 2 meters of another person in my life. SO CUTE. SOOO CUTE

4. Their favorite show to watch together?

I suddenly got this vision that ryoji watches absolute garbage television and thinks its peak. mina walks in on him actually fucking crying to the finale episode of icarly so minato has to actively force him to watch things that have an actual plot but i think minato is an exceptionally pretentious 16/17 year old and makes him watch idk twin peaks. i do think that ryoji would be fascinated by literally anything you could put on baby sensory videos and hed be like hoooly shit. so i guess their favourite show to watch is whatever minato wants to watch

5. Who is the cheesier one of the two?

*strangling ryoji with my hands* I just couldn't say... this cunt "my love" this "my dearest" that .. hed send a giant delivery of roses to their classroom and minato would get a QTE of throwing them out the window before anyone fucking sees. its so bad for a Grand Romantic Gestures popular guy and a Dont Fucking Percieve Me emo boy. Hope he dies. Again.

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE !!! RYOMINA IN SPLATOON 3!! the ryomina of splatona 3!!! fuck yeah!!! love wins!!!

[crescentfool]

he made a cookie but then he ate it...

[mymp3]

wave ^_^)/ !!!! i hate to be predictable, but for the ask game - poor ryoji mochizuki ? :]c

VITY! waves back o/

Anyways here's Ryoji Mochizuki world’s most perfect boy ^_^

favorite thing about them

Where do I start. Nyx being the primordial being, God in the persona universe. All life comes from her. She’s the beginning and the end, she is death itself. Having death be put inside a small boy and his kindness and love making death want to be human itself. Wanting to repay that kindness and love, feeling guilt at the way it treated the small boy, ruining his life.

The fact that Ryoji is Death, is Thanatos, is Pharos, is Nyx. They’re all the same being. The concept and execution of that, who had no feelings either way before, being treated so kindly to the point where it takes forms this bond with P3 Hero. Protecting him from the first arcana shadow as Thanatos on the first full moon of the game. The culmination of these forms is of course Mochizuki Ryoji. Who’s become soft and sweet. He copies P3 Hero’s appearance and gender and is everything that he never knew he wanted to be.

He loves the world so much, loves humanity so much. He’s so endlessly kind and having that kindness be a direct reflection of P3 Hero makes it that much sweeter. The fact he created this form because of his desire to have it and desire to separate himself from Nyx is the sweetest thing in the world. Especially when they’re all still the same being. Ryoji just has a hard time putting that in perspective again, he doesn’t want to be that, (Evident by his dumb Ryoji phase) doesn’t want to go back to that. It’s so sweet. He’s the cutest in the world.

least favorite thing about them

I honestly don’t think I have one.

favorite line

“I know you better than anyone after all… That’s why I came back to you as Ryoji Mochizuki.” (I know this is kind of cheating. sry.)

brOTP

Him and Junpei are so good it’s unreal. Just bros being bros. They hang out, are the most frat of guys and its hilarious. But when Junpei is going through a rough time Ryoji always knows exactly what to say. I find it so sweet.

OTP

Ryomina

They are literal soulmates. They are one another. Mirror images. Love birds. Codependent cats. Made for each other in the most literal of senses. Ryoji made his form from Minato so they could spend time together. Minato taught Death kindness.

Sometimes I feel so like I’m making them up they’re so perfect.

NOTP

This is a bit odd to type out but pretty much anyone who isn’t P3 Hero with Ryoji? I see Ryoji as only being made for one person in particular, so the others just don’t appeal to me in the same way.

random headcanon

Can I cheat and put more than one. I’m gonna. These are all Ryoji post P3 unless stated otherwise.

- Ryoji going a step further and taking Minato’s hair and eye color. Draining a blue Minato used to have til his are bright and shining. The same way he absorbed his kindness.

- He is crazy codependent. Like crazy codependent. If he was able to touch Minato for a split second in November they would never be able to let go of one another. That’s why Minato had to avoid him in FES.

-He's really warm! Got that from Minato too so he's left with all the cold. Ryoji's fun to hug though :)

- Him and Minato watch over the world together in the great seal! Ryoji shares the knowledge while Minato catches up on rest and helps explain new concepts to him when he wakes up. He’s his doorman ^_^ (ha)

- He would really enjoy working retail if he ever got the shot. He loves people in general. Getting to meet them, talk to them, the whole shebang.

- He’s embarrassed of being Pharos. Like people get of old baby photos.

- Ryoji is metaphorically trans baby. Wanting to copy Minato and preferring being called Ryoji, a boy. It makes talking about Gods a bit difficult. Dysphoria and all. Poor thing experiences it in the weirdest of ways. But as Minato and Ryoji continue to be the seal, it’ll get easier.

- He likes sunrises and cheesy rom coms and fairy tales. Classic knight and princess stories. Kind of has the most normal taste ever, but a romantic at heart.

- Speaking of normal, I think “Dumb Ryoji” is a representation on what Minato would have been like if Death was never sealed inside of him. Perfect friends with all of the right people, charming, a bit of a playboy, and best friends with Junpei.

unpopular opinion

I personally don’t imagine Ryoji with a sexuality. His human form was made as a mirror to Minato, and so interacting with him throws him off course. He acts different around him, it confuses him. I don’t see anything Dumb Ryoji does as being a real representation of who Ryoji is.

song i associate with them

My Ryoji playlist is just the most cheesy songs you’ve ever heard in your life.

Anyways I guess my pick is “Rhythm Of Love" by the Plain White T's. (yeah ik. please go easy on me he's so owl city 2010's pop to me.)

favorite picture of them

i like how pouty he gets when he's upset ^_^

[ontosgold]

Honestly Ryomina makes me fucking insane like everytime i think about them i start to combust and fly around like a rocket

Just .. Them being together ever since Minato was ten, i imagine them as childhood friends of sorts, but in a extremely gut wrenching way, Ryoji learned everything through the eyes of Minato, and even when there was nothing but sadness in Minato's life, im sure Ryoji just saw all that with so much wonder

and i imagine Ryoji not understanding everything in his surroundings, but everytime Minato feels bad, he himself feels as if his entire being is set on fire

SO IMAGINE, Minato crying on the floor, back on the wall, hes just a little child with so much sadness within himself for whatever reason, and he just hears a voice that seems like his own, but also completely different "I'm with you, it's okay." and he doesn't understand, but he knows it's true, the only person who's with him through it all is himself, and for some reason, he feels it really is okay.

YEAH ME TOO ANON ME TOO 🤝🤝 YOU UNDERSTAND YOU GET ME if i think about them too hard i feel like I'm gonna explode. I'm internally bouncing around the walls.

ALSO OUUUGGGH WHY DID U HAVE TO COME INTO MY INBOX WITH THIS :(( <- /POS ryoji feeling everything minato's feeling with so much intensity... (bcs he's never experienced anything like emotions before) AUGH... I love them being unaware childhood friends, but also something so much more intimate than just childhood friends soso much, I'm nodding. you get it anon. ough. (also I'm not gonna get the image of little mina being comforted by ryoji out of my brain orz) The strange familiarity when ryoji and minato "meet" and the inescapable feeling that they've known eachother their entire lives and they know eachother like they know themselves. yeah.

I adore the idea death being minato's only comfort throughout those 10 years... death took so much and yet it was the only sort of companion mina had. death was right there with him for every dark hour he had to experience alone for those 10 years of his life...

thank u sm for the ask anon ^_^ I'm gonna spend the entire day brainrotting about this 👍
